The Will Of God

8/10
The Viken, Norway rockers Dang!!! return with 7 more tunes of their inimitable, loud, apocalyptic version of rock that’s as brutal as it is relevant in these turbulent times.
“The New Machine” starts the listen with the sounds of what the cover art would make, before speedy and fuzzed out rock and howled vocals enter the powerful climate, and “Caliphate Hate” follows with a thundering display that’s a bit ominous and touches on ‘90s alt-rock amid the eerie talking.
In the middle, “Taste Of Cruel” takes on industrial ideas amid the driving garage rock nods, while “Lost In Time” presents swirling guitars with a hint of punk rock alongside the playful organ. “Unlawful Interception” exits the listen, and it’s a soaring yet intimate display that erupts into a dynamic and charged anthem for the end of the world.
Somehow meshing Gothic, psychedelic, power-pop, alt-rock and garage-rock into one menacing listen, Dang!!! paint a bleak portrait of the world, and it's one that’s musically fierce and lyrically aware.
